Tim Clutton-Brock
Literary Agent: Luigi Bonomi
Tim Clutton-Brook has spent most of his life studying animal societies – including colobus monkeys, red deer, wild sheep and meerkats. In each case he has learned to recognise large numbers of individuals and has monitored their behaviour and reproductive success throughout their lives, providing a detailed understanding of their behaviour and of their response to changing environmental conditions. He is the author of 250 scientific papers and books on the ecology and evolution of animal societies and is currently the Prince Philip Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Cambridge. He established the Kalahari Meerkat study in 1993 and the Kuruman River Reserve, where it operates, in 2000. Over the past few years, he and his team have worked with Oxford Scientific Films to produce two thirteen-part series of the enormously successful Meerkat Manor which have already been broadcast. A third series and a feature film have also been made, providing further insights into the lives and loves of these intriguing animals.
